"Plos 97s (Deli Twins Underground Use Edit)"

Pan

Artists:

Last year, London electronic composer Lee Gamble made plenty of noise with the release of his EP Diversions 1994-1996, a deconstruction of prime mid-90s UK jungle that scrutinized the minute spaces between those furious drum breaks and dilated them into uncanny ambient miniatures. He soon followed it with Dutch Tvashar Plumes, similarly abstract but rooted more in techno’s pulses. The four minutes of that record's “Plos 97” felt less like bass booming through paper thin walls, and more like the mids drilling through. But for this recent edit put together by Washington, D.C.’s Maxmillion Dunbar and L.I.E.S. honcho Ron Morelli as Deli Twins, they extend the song’s pleasures into a more DJ-friendly form. Their touch is light: a bit of organ arises on the low-end about a minute in, a closed hi-hat tethers the rhythm, but the low end remains subdued, almost subliminal.
